There are rumblings that the Los Angeles Clippers might choose to stand pat at the NBA trade deadline, a decision that would obviously keep them from dealing for Boston Celtics center Kevin Garnett.

According to several reports, the Clippers were at various points in time involved in discussions to acquire Garnett in exchange for guard Eric Bledsoe and center DeAndre Jordan. The Clippers were reportedly split on whether Garnett is worth both young players.

Garnett owns a no-trade clause which gives him the right to refuse any deal, and he has stated an unwillingness to waive it under any circumstances. But the Clippers -- a real title contender located close to Garnett's Malibu house which employs Garnett's close friend, Chauncey Billups -- seemingly would have held as good a chance as any to convince the 15-time All-Star to waive the clause.

But now, it looks as if the Clippers might decide not to make any moves at all.

Told Clippers are very likely to stick with what they have going forward and not be involved in any deals, significant or otherwise.
